Add a little science to your day with a fun activity of exploring
shadows. Get outside if you can, and let your child explore how shadows
work by moving their body in the sunlight. Have them walk upright,
walk on all fours, and try to create letters or shapes with their shadows.
If it’s raining out, use a flashlight indoors for this activity. Next, have
them create shadow puppets on the ground or on a wall inside using
a flashlight. If your child likes to do crafts, you can help her create a
groundhog shadow craft with brown and black construction paper and a
groundhog template I found at All Kids Network.
